Philadelphia is expected to get 3 to 4 inches of snow starting Tuesday afternoon, potentially becoming the biggest snowfall of the season. The snow is likely to start between 3 and 5 p.m. Tuesday, making for an interesting Wednesday morning commute. While the city has seen minimal snowfall this winter, this storm could bring a significant change. Following the snow, a warm front is expected to bring a wintry mix and then rain, likely erasing most of the accumulation.
